Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious with a great breakfast option, and the service was friendly even though there was a minor issue with my reservation. The location is fantastic being close to the university campus and in a park away from noisy traffic. The dining experience was superb with globally inspired dishes. The facilities were top-notch making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is situated in a lovely park away from noisy traffic, offering a tranquil setting. The rooms are modern, clean, and come equipped with everything I needed for a leisurely breakfast. The breakfast provided was fantastic, but there were no specific comments about the price or value for money. Service was a bit of a downside as I couldn't find my reservation initially, though I appreciated the availability of pet amenities and the housekeeping service. The location, directly on a university campus, was convenient and rated highly for its peaceful ambiance. The dining experience, with fresh strawberries available, was simple yet enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable stay with great breakfast and pet amenities.
I found the hotel rooms to be spacious and well-designed, offering a great shower experience and a large, comfortable bedroom. However, I felt the prices were a bit high given the level of facilities provided. The service was a bit lacking as they couldn't find my reservation initially, but they did offer pet amenities which was a nice touch. The location was convenient, right next to Holyrood Park and within easy reach of Edinburgh center, although it was situated in a restricted area. The dining experience was delightful with fresh strawberries available, and the facilities were modern and well-equipped. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
